[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 128958, member: 8843"] Their nothing wrong with the 308 as far as accuracy goes , I personaly would look at another model maybe a heavy barreled bolt gun generaly they come with a 26" tube but you can get great accuracy and velocity from a 20" and it'll cut alot of weight if its a heavy barrled rig. My personal longest kill on a big game animal is 618 yds with a custom 308 loaded with factory Black Hills ammo. Alot of new guys get cought up in the magnum craze thinking that you need a super heavy bullets going super fast and its simply not so. I would reccomend the 308 for several reasons , alot of good factory loaded ammo , its easy to load for with lots of great componets readly available , low recoil and they are normaly accurate. I've got a Encore with a 20" heavy barrel that makes for a super short fast handeling gun that realy accurate , I've got a handload that shoot a 165gr Ballistic Tip at 2600+fps and I have consistanly hit 12" gong at 400yds with it and a 6x scope [/QUOTE]
